Ask a Mormon anything

My atheist as **** grandparents stayed together for the kids. Lots of unhappiness, but they knew their duty was to give their children a stable home with both parents. Plus its largely their fault they never even attempted to work on their problems.

I can applaud that so long as they're able to keep the wheels on the bus.

The same reason people without a temple recommend aren't allowed in the temple after its dedicated; or why almost anybody isn't allowed in certain parts of temples. They are extremely sacred, parading them around would be disrespectful and sacrilegious.

Come on, that's a cop-out. If I said that I have physical proof (gold plates, etc.) that Zeus was real, wouldn't everyone be justified in demanding to see that proof?

Seriously, by not allowing "outsiders" to see the gold plates, you might as well be saying "nah nee nah nee poo poo."

And if not "parade them around," then perhaps respectfully display behind glass in a museum.

Have you ever read the history of your church or the biography of Joseph Smith? Seriously you should step outside your bubble and learn something other than faith promoting propaganda.

At least they finally repealed all the debates, revelations, and ignorance on racism.

The history of the church is not my area of expertise (talk to my grandpa, he loves that stuff). It's not as important to me as the gospel. People get so hung up on little things that we don't understand right now. What's important is reading the Book of Mormon, praying to God, and asking if it is true. The whole Lds church is based on the scriptures (the BoM in particular) and personal revelation to you.

Just saw this thread. Great idea! I'm a member outside what most call the "Mormon" bubble of Utah-Idaho, here in Missouri. There are probably more paintballers than members in this state. I'm also willing to answer any question one might have about our faith. Provided that it's a legitimate question and not some copied and pasted anti-ignorant junk. I live by my faith and love to paintball! Best wishes!
